Many thanks!!! to both these lovely ladies who recently sent me goodies in the post for collage!

“Bonne année” was created using a French perfume box with scrap pieces of label from a champagne bottle I shared with my family in Paris 2009

Collage Tutorial 9. Materials from Nature
I really enjoyed creating the nature collages. I drifted back to the Summers of the ’60’s when with friends, running fast on the path to the beach ,our feet would burn:) I also remembered organizing the nature table at primary school.

30 Days of Collage – Stephanie levy
Collage Tutorial 1 “Artplay”
My first practical day of the “30 Days of Collage” by Stephanie Levy course.
It was Melbourne Cup Day so this was an excuse for me to grab a (naughty snack attack) stash to help me along with my artplay day. I gathered all my paints , crayons, salt, tapes and began.
The first lot of images are the process using, paint with salt, glue , tape, pastel and more…The second lot of images are the finished result.
What a fun way to get a big bunch of gorgeous papers together for creating collage and books !
and a few more papers felt pen, masking tape and water.
Thanks Stephanie!
